Among the Britons fighting for the most extreme terrorist group in Syria,
there was a mood of exultation.

“Remember this is just the beginning, look at the phenomenal successes in such
a short time, imagine a few more years or a decade #ISIS” tweeted
Abu Dujana al-Muhajir, 19, from Portsmouth. He has been fighting for
some months with the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham.

The terror group’s stunning success as it swept across northern Iraq, humbling
US-trained Iraqi government forces, mocked the confident words of President
Obama two years ago.
